i wish that pompous ass would go away. she is very good with the righteous indignation but she can fark someone from behind better than a Las Vegas cabana boy.

Why are MJ's kids "fascinating?" Because they got rid of the masks? Because the older two look exactly like the plastic surgeon?

Did everyone who is actually fascinating die this year?

apparently they changed the definition of fascinating to "so painfully annoying I want to rip my eyes and ears off in a vain attempt to unsee and unhear the banality that these people inflict upon me"

I wonder if Glenn Beck adressed the allegations of raping and murdering a girl in 1990?

Barbara WaWa must be senile or confused, that's a list of people who jumped the shark, like her.

globalwarmingpraiser: I wonder if Glenn Beck adressed the allegations of raping and murdering a girl in 1990?

He did but it was cryptic.

You have to substitute Obama for raping and healthcare reform for murdering a girl. Oh and 6 trillion for 1990.

Hey I'm not saying your a Glenn Beck fan, but prove to me your not.

Other than MJ's kids, pretty much everyone on that list can DIAF.

Wow, I had my doubts going into the link, Subby. Touché.

I found PETA chick on the right much more fascinating.

Walters is a joke and has always been a joke. Too many idiots never had the heart to tell her this decades and decades ago.

If THAT'S who she thinks is "Most Fascinating" then how the fark does she muster the neurons to be able to continue breathing while she walks?

I just like a good command of the English language. It's not like I want Glenn Beck to rape and murder me in 1990, though.

OK: "I wonder if Glenn Beck addressed the allegations of Obama and healthcare reform in 6 trillion"

You, sir, have no skills dick.

Synopsis of the Barbara Walters Method of Interviewing:

1. Conduct research to determine if anyone who the interviewee is close to has recently died, came close to dying, or is gravely ill.

2. After making the interviewee comfortable with questions about their career, transition into the subject by asking, "What would (insert name of dead or ill person) think about all of the success you've had in your career? Do you think he/she would be proud of you?"

3. Lean in close and make a "sympathetic" face while gazing into the eyes of the interviewee. Don't say a word.

4. Once the waterworks starts, pass the interviewee a box of tissue and smugly pat yourself on the back (metaphorically, of course).

This method is now being widely used by many, including Oprah, Dianne Sawyer and Dr. Drew. But Barbara is the one who made it popular and she's still the best at making her subjects tear up. The only time I can recall someone calling her on that bullshiat is the time she interviewed Eddie Murphy. She tried to make him cry, but he wagged his finger at her and told her, "Oh no, you're not doing that to me!"

Obnoxious != Fascinating

10 Most Successful Attention Whores

Tyler Perry's Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People of the Year with Tyler Perry

AgentOrangeDrink: Did everyone who is actually fascinating die this year?

Admit it: You want to see Barbara try to interview Lady Gaga while she's wearing a birdcage on her head, or whatever the hell kind of "the toaster had sex with the elliptical" device they drag her out in.

I mean, I don't, but I know you do. You sad, sad bastard.

/OK maybe a little

The list also includes pop-culture sensation Lady Gaga, famous mother of eight Kate Gosselin, glam rocker Adam Lambert, record-breaking NFL quarterback Brett Favre, South Carolina's first lady Jenny Sanford, comedian-filmmaker Tyler Perry, TV pundit Glenn Beck and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

Don't you have to be funny to be a comedian?

Tyler Perry.

Strep throat is more fascinating than any of those losers

Taco Bell Dog


Socks the Cat


Walter Cronkite

Look, I've got nothing against Adam Lambert. But throwing on some makeup and sucking a little dick doesn't make you a "glam rocker".

OTOH, if they decided to take the series in a new direction and group all of them on an island for Battle Royale, I'd quit my job to not miss a minute.

Barbara Walters is annoying. She should interview herself.

So some twit attention whore finds a bunch of other twit attention whores fascinating?
What a surprise.

Brett Favre?


/no, really, Brett Favre?

Blaming Baba Wawa for this asshattery is like blaming Ronald McDonald when your cheeseburger tastes like shiat.

Baba Wawa doesn't own ABC... they own her.

That list is bad enough, but the fact that there is someone not yet named who is almost certainly an even bigger loser makes my skin crawl.

AgentOrangeDrink: Did everyone who is actually fascinating die this year?

Maurice Clemmons.

Nobody puts Baba in the corner.

Eh, here's the Economist's most recent obituaries. Some of these are intentionally quirky, but all of these people had a bigger impact on world events than any of Wawa's pop-culture flotsam.

I do, that woman has attention whoring down to a science and I love her for it

I didn't expect that list to be as pathetic and pandering to the lowest common denominator as it is. Wow.

I could shiat ten things more interesting than those people.

Holy shiat, how did MJ manage to bleach his genes?

I've only heard of Palin and Favre.

/gotta read People more
//get off my lawn

Amen Subby. One can only hope that it is all filmed at one time and the building explodes. (I have nothing against the kids so they can be scheduled as live via satellite.)

Ms. Walters, a Mr. Montoya would like a word.....

Then again she interviewed these guys

\God, I hate Tyler Perry (new window)

Contrabulous Flabtraption: I didn't expect that list to be as pathetic and pandering to the lowest common denominator as it is. Wow.

Do people actually watch this fluff? How farking sad.

This must be a new meaning of the word "fascinating" that I have been unfamiliar with up to this time.

There is nothing fascinating about Kate Gosselin.

I'd bet money that Falcon Heeney and the Octomom were both contenders to get on the show.
